"The Ink Well" was right after "Menace..." and made me see Larenz as a true actor. He was careful not to let Hollywood box him into typecast roles. It was a brilliant career move.

Love me some Larenz Tate! Since 1990! From the boyz video, the royal family w/Redd Foxx. Seen Love Jones 1000x. He hasn’t aged. Something about us ppl born in the 70’s.
Chicago’s very own. Till this day the ending of “Dead Presidents” makes me cry. Hands down, one of my favorite movies. The soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal!🔥🔥🔥 I can’t even leave “Love Jones” out; one of my favorite movies.💜🙏🏽💜 Bill was such a hater in that movie.😂

These two Black gentlemen are the "epitome" of the modern husband, friend, lover, fathers are supposed to be. Black does not crack! Larenz looks 30 (he's Vegan, no wonder). Takes good care of himself. Great conversation. Thanks guys.
Gratitude. Ps Love Jones is a Classic Movie and Soundtrack. That Lauryn Hill song is my ish. Dead Presidents and The Inkwell are massive classics too.
amazing energy and friendship we love all the back stories.

Larenz Tate is so good looking. Whew that smile and the dimples! He’s a great actor, too. “Twice as less” math is not his strong suit 😆
Great interview!! Two friends talking!!
Bill bellamy is genuine. What u see is what u get. He is just as crazy and nice in person 😂
I love him even more because my hands stay ashy for the exact same reason ❤!!!!
Fav episode!!! ❤ Love both dudes. LOVE JONES will always be top of my list!!!!
@Breakbeat Media, I am one of those people who has watched Love Jones so much that I know the lines. I appreciate you all and love the interview.
Bringin that heat once again. Bill gotta let his guest talk though lol. He was hype this time 😂😂
My Brutha, I love Counsilman Tate. You are a great actor, Larenz and so handsome❤❤❤❤
Talk about soundtracks, the Love Jones soundtrack is mos def FIRE
Larenz Tate ...as someone that lives with Sickle Cell Anemia...let me thank you for all that you do for the National Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation.... you are much appreciated.
I love y’all!🎁 Larenz, I appreciate you in the podcast series about Bronzeville with Laurence Fishburne. It was so good! You are a diverse actor that embodies whatever role you play!🎁
"Yo" love the brotherhood, please keep the energy in our community we appreciate you both.
Dueces is a GREAT movie! Larenz Tate still got it! 🙏🏿👍🏿
I thought Inkwell was his first film because he was so different than Menace and Dead President! Inkwell is my FAVORITE movie.
Love these brothers!Truly inspirational. Keep on doing your thing gents!!!

Amazing interview especially with an icon like Larenz Tate. Dead Presidents is one of my favorite films and the range that Larenz portrayed was top notch Oscar quality! That film was one of the reasons why I wanted to become an actor. Thank you Mr.Tate and you’re definitely our black Leo DiCaprio 😎👍🏾🙌🏾
Much respect to the brothers, Peace from Paterson, NJ
The Inkwell 🎬 #Underrated #CultClassic
I love love love Larenz Tate! Smiled the whole time watching this interview😁 So good!
This man went from Odog to Drew … like I honestly couldn’t believe that was the same person
Bill, Your show is soo FIRE and sooo necessary!!! I love and appreciate the honesty and sincerity of ALL of your interviews. I love this interview with Larenz. I learned so much about him as a person, a Black man, friend, husband and father!! So proud of both of you!!
It’s so funny how they rag each other because they really know each other
This is one of the best interviews ever...!!! 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
Amazing interview and of course the Darius poem at the end❤
I know they had a blast filming Love Jones. Incredible story and such a beautiful cast
Awesome interview! Y'all had me cracking up 😂😂 gotta love yall both 2 legends in the game! And Larenz is mt forever fine man in my head!😂😂💯💯🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
also great dads are the very best God bless you both and your loved ones.
This is my first time watching and Bill has found his lane. He is great at this!!! Love it!!!
Awesome interview!!!
Love this interview ❤
We dont talk about the house or the mansion, but never the foundation!! Larenz Tate is part of the foundation of my childhood. When you crave attention they celebrate it, but staying humble only gets tolerated!!!!!😢😅😂😂😊 Dope interview though. He need more flowers 💐 🎉❤
Love this interview. So many layers. Love Jones, Dead Presidents and The F. L. Story, I can watch over and over--actually, I have. Also, appreciate the passion around community service. Larenz asked what happened to those thriving Black communities--that were also in other cities including the south like Black Wall Street???? It's called INTEGRATION. Segregation forced Blacks to do what some other communities still do, and that's support and patronage those who look like you. Our doctors were Black, our teachers, the bus station owners, the Negros baseball leagues, everything was Black-owned with Black support. Our wealth was disbursed at integration, and the neighborhoods and jobs disappeared, and eventually replaced with crime. Keep up the good work fellas!
I remember Larenz back in ‘86 in an episode of Hunter as Sporty James’ nephew.
I watch a lot of interviews, and this has to be in my top five ever. Lorenz does not get his just do. Absolutely amazing actor.
True Brotherhood🙏
This was an excellent interview. I wish them both the best in their careers!
Love everything about this interview ❤❤❤❤
